It has been over two weeks here in New Zealand. I am in Cambridge right now about to hop on a bus to Wellington to hopefully meet up with some lovely English girls for some more travel. Bible School was unfortunately not for me. There are about a thousand good and bad things I could say about my time there, but I do not have the time. Everything in this cute little town closes at five and that gives me 10min on the internet. Oh what a sad internet-less life I live. Kidding! I love it! I hate paying for internet, but I like that it keeps me off facebook a bit.
So, I am starting a new chapter in my life: traveling New Zealand. After a few road blocks, I am on my way South. I have a night bus to Wellington tonight where I hope to meet up with a girl I met in Auckland. I won't arrive in Wellington until 7am Tuesday. If all goes well, I will travel the South Island next week into November. What a wonderful plan.
I do hope God is not mad at me for hating my time at Bible School. I can't really imagine so. Well, there's a lot to tell about my time at ABS. I did a lot of fun things! I can't pretend that I didn't. It just wasn't for me. Enough said.
My first week traveling the Northlands was delightful. The English girls were wonderful and the German boys we met were great, too. I enjoyed my time a lot. I hope the rest of my travels can be as exciting and adventurous as my first week here in NZ.
My plan after conquering the South Island is to head back up to the North Island and travel around a bit. As of now, my flight to Sydney, Australia is Dec 1, but that could change. Plans can always change. That is what makes things so exciting! My flight from Sydney to LA is Dec 12 as of now as well. Then back to Kansas on the 16th of December for a few days before heading to Iowa for family time and Key West, Florida for Christmas. Wow. It's like I like to travel or something. Yup, something like that.
Oh news: I have no plans for New Years. So, if anyone has any fabulous ideas let me know. I am thinking young life reunion at my place in Kansas City! Mom and Dad would love to have me home for once, I'm sure.
Well, I am off to travel New Zealand. Today is October 19th and I have almost two months until I will be in Iowa. I can only day dream about all the things that I will see and do during that time.
I miss all my friends and family very much, but I am really proud of myself for taking this time to explore the world. I learn more everyday than I every thought I would. I wake up every morning hoping to learn and explore. I do just that every single hour of the day. I wish I could sit on here and tell you all the fun facts I learn about different countries, cultures, people, but I just do not have the money to pay for internet time. Haha. Also, I don't know if my words could ever really capture all the knowledge I have gained during my travels. I learn so much about myself as well.
Well, friends, I am off. Know that I love you and miss you very much. Keep me in mind. I know traveling wears on me and some times will be tough, but most times will be amazing! Don't have time to spell check, so hope all is well in this one.
Comment often and much please!
um did you say that you left bible school? i feel like that needs a little bit more elaboration... and somehow, i very much doubt that God is mad at you for leaving it.
ReplyDeleteI guess that means you won't be getting my letter.
but just so you know, i did, in fact, send it, so i guess in this case the thought is all that will get to count.
hope you enjoy yourself ms. s weaver.
love you, miss you.
if there is another address for me to send something to, let me know.
